With his yard possessing a good record at this venue DONT TELL THE WIFE is just preferred over the much improved Good Harvest while Sarahs Gift could be the value play for each-way backers. The pick put in a decent re-appearance effort at Fontwell last time while looking in need of the run on his chasing debut. That start makes his mark look fair on his handicap bow in this sphere and he should build on that. Good Harvest scored on his second start of his current yard last time when eight pounds better off in a Novice Handicap. That was his best effort to date and if in the same mood is very much a danger. Sarahs Gift was expected to go better last time having previously gone well off this rating and he might be worth another chance while Majic Moments could also go well off bottom weight. This looks competitive but Dont Tell The Wife might just be open to the most improvement.
